!!!I NEED A CRT MONITOR!!!

[GT GUY]

nothing beats used 21" Sony Trinitron Flat Screen

I'm running Dual Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 930sb's at 1280x960. I use it for work (3D Modeling/Graphic Design) and Gaming. For games i run it at 1600x1200 at 85hz. The clarity and color depth are awesome! You can't go wrong with Mitsubish/NEC. Sony Trinitrons are very good too, I think they tend to display sharper text at higher resolution and the Mitsubishi has better color depth (which i prefer for graphic design). Either one would be a good choice IMO.

Oh yeah.. and those two lines are because it's an Aperature Grille CRT. It is used for calibration and generally provides much better image quality than a normal CRT. After using the monitor for a couple of days you don't even see them unless you're "thinking" about them like I am now. or it's on a white background.

Stay away from ViewSonic. I have had bad experiences with them. Went through 5 of them in 3 years!

I own the Mitsubishi DP930SB and think it is great. But after I bought it I learned more about places that sell used/refurb/new monitors.

Check out Accurateit if you are willing to consider those

They even have a Dell P1130 NEW (uses the Trinitron tube, 21") for $299 currently. Excellent Deal. 1 year warranty.

The G Series Sony Trinitrons are pretty darn good. I used to run two 19" G420's at work and they're AWESOME! Nice sharp text at high resolutions and refresh rates and great color depth. Only reason I don't have them now is cuz i'm running an Apple 30" Cinema Display. :beer::thumbsup:😀

The Dells aren't bad, the Sony G500 is better IMO. But with the New Dell 21" you get a full year warranty and it's NEW. I'd go with the Dell. Just my .02, unless you find a killer deal on a G500 somewhere else.

DAMN

I am running a MITSUBISHI Diamondtron 21" CRT. I still can't justify forking out $500+ for a LCD
